Night had fallen, and the stars and moon were dim.
In a room on the fourth floor of the ancient castle, Colin stood by an open window.
At the end of his gaze lay a dark, sombre sea.
The moon and stars, which had appeared dim in the sky earlier, were now reflected in the sea, brightening and rippling the water.
"It's been a long time since I've stayed in a room with a sea view..." Colin smiled gently.
Then he withdrew his gaze and turned around to continue his practice.
It was only around nine in the evening, far from his bedtime; the pause just now was merely a brief rest in the midst of his practice.
Today, Wizard Lin Ke had left them here and hadn't appeared since.
The ordinary servant knights of the castle had received them.
Since Lin Ke had not left any specific requests or restrictions, Colin had been practicing from that time until now.
"He is perhaps engaged in intense discussions about the Alus Association's examination content," Colin speculated silently.
